Boeddha’szeefinal (2005)

Digital collage / Spiritual serenity / Chromatic mysticism

Boeddha’szeefinal is a digitally composed artwork created in 2005 using Adobe and Paint Shop Pro on a Pentium II system. A stylized Buddha head — eyes closed, urna glowing, lips gently curved — floats within a field of abstract brushstrokes and geometric textures. Gold, blue, green, and violet hues blend into a mystical aura, dissolving the boundary between icon and atmosphere.

The composition evokes spiritual insight and chromatic reverence, with the Buddha’s calm presence anchoring a swirl of painterly distortion and symbolic abstraction. This piece belongs to Martine Jacobs’ Archaeological Internet Art archive — a collection of emotionally charged digital relics created before the rise of platforms and commodification.
